It's shit. And yeah, I do care to elaborate.

17 is a bad album musically, but let's take a look at it without listening to music first.
First track - "The Explanation". Do you know the filmmaker's rule "show, not tell"? I think the same should apply to music. I mean, this spoken word intro could be done alright, but it actually says one thing: only listen to this album if you're willing to LISTEN and UNDERSTAND, read: like me. This way if you actually dislike what you heard someone can say to you "bruh but did you LISTENED TO THE INTRO?" Fuck that and fuck you! I will listen to it and I reserve my right to dislike it.
Speaking of dislike: Some people here found that this album is way better then they excepted because they only thought of X as a meme rapper. I judge him as an artist. Period.

Next, the album's "concept".
The album's concept is X. Depression is not this album's concept. Depression does not sounds like the whining on "Dead Inside". Depression sounds like silence. Depression also does not look like hanging yourself on Snapchat, than getting mad when people actually believe you. And depression sure as fuck does not look like begging for likes so you will release your album. X gets some credit for not being the glossy-romanticized side of depression. Instead, X is "I'M DEAD INSIDE" kid who takes himself way too seriously.

And finally, the music: It's shit. It is not something you'd want to go back to. I had some hope at " Jocelyn Flores", but I knew I hated the album at "Dead Inside". When it's not outright bad, it's forgettable.
If you liked it... okay.

I know what it feels like being depressed. I am not a hater of X, he had some really good songs before.

But this album? It's shit.
